Happy Rosh Hashana

Blow the Shofar with me, oh House of Israel!  Return now to the covenant our Eloheem, the Qedosh Yishra'el!  Hear now the sound of the coronation of our King who returns to us soon!  Hear now the wailing of the Jewish heart who longs for Him, who longs for her Bride Groom!  Hear now the wake-up call to repentance!  Return with me to the covenant and to the House of our Eloheem, the Eloheem of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!  Hear now the faith of our Father Abraham who calls to us from beyond the years!

Drink now the fatness of the milk of His Word and taste the sweetness of His honey!  Know ye that YHWH He is Eloheem.  It is He who has made us and not we our selves.  We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.  We are Israel!

Thank you oh Israel.  Thank you for preserving the oracles for us.  Thank you for suffering the persecution and the labor pains to bring forth our Messiah.  Thank you for being a shining light in the midst of adversity.  Thank you for bringing achievements in medicine and communications and nuclear physics and every area of human life.  Thank you oh House of Israel.  I blow the Shofar with you.

This year I blow the Shofar with you.  If they persecute you then they must persecute me too.  This year I return to the covenant with you.  If they kill you then they must kill me too.  In antiquity we changed our sabbath to run from the persecution of our brethern.  Now I choose to identify myself with you.  Many of our fathers were wrong and hurt you.  I return to the covenant of our Eloheem and I ask His forgiveness and your forgiveness for the persecution because of Martin Luther's fat mouth and words spoken in malice and bitterness.  I ask the forgiveness of our Eloheem and you, oh Israel, for any trite or off-handed statements that have brought you pain.  I blow the Shofar with you, oh House of Israel.

This Rosh Hashanah there is a bitter wailing in the Jewish heart for there is no temple, no altar on which to make the sacrifice but I say to you, "Look to the hills from which your help shall come because He has provided the Sacrafice.  He has already provided the Ram even as He did your father Abraham."  We are the temple oh House of Israel and YHWH chooses not to dwell in a house of stone or a temple made by hands but in the hearts of those who Love Him.

Blow the Shofar oh house of Israel for He will call you to His covenant to meet Him in the clouds.  Blow the Shofar, oh House of Israel!
